I wonder if some of the unbelievable beautiful aquascapes photos you see are processed in similar manner to capture the entire dynamic range. Doesn't Amano use professional film rather than digital pics (all those photo expeditions has him using an antique looking camera)?

Phil, HDR is indeed an interesting(and exciting) field. It is even possible and sometimes preferred to use point-and-shoot cameras and take the images in JPEG. You just vary the exposure compensation and remember to use tripod. It does take some getting used to but the results can be fun and rewarding.
